Hotel Genross Vina del Mar

... at home. And God is good.

We got a table by the window where we can watch the waves roll and spray, showering the sidewalk along the sea wall. Kaye said that one day she and a friend found a particularly splash-prone spot and sat nearby to watch tourists get soaked when they walked by. But tonight we are more civilized. The waiters here wear bowties and even lift up your napkin with tongs to tell you when to put it in your lap. We each had ...

... napravit da kazem da (ako kazes da, ides plesat, sto je sasvim logican slijed dogadaja :D :D). drugom liku sam na engleskom rekla da ne govorim spanjolski pa je odmah odustao :D sljedeci put cu pocet pricat na njemackom.
u kaficu sam se osjecala kao div. rijetko tko je bio visi od mene pa sada znam kako se ko nas osjecaju dvometrasi :D iako ima dosta lijepih likova, nista mi to ne vrijedi kad su skoro svi manji od mene :D

... that would be joining our group each week. On Friday we will be meeting at 4 PM to hang out. I'm not sure what we'll be doing yet. For our culture class today, our teacher took us on a walk to the feria mercado. Kind of like our farmer's market. Each of us students had to interview one of the vendors. After being turned down by 3 women vendors, a kind gentleman said that he would love to be interviewed. This man was selling every kind of vegetable ...

... and personal to a moai. Pretty cool. Then, we headed down to Renaca, which is the beach area and boardwalk portion of Vina del Mar. We spent some time walking along the beach, just people-watching and enjoying the day. Next, we drove up to Valparaiso, which is a town full of hills and funiculars and elevators to get around. Its colonial architecture and brightly-coloured buildings make it famously picturesque. We had lunch at a beautiful little ...

... we all know what they say about assumptions, and it turned out we had stumbled upon what was probably going to be hard accomodation to beat, in terms of feeling at home, a fun and welcoming crowd of both workers and guests, and definitely a whirlwind of a four-day trip filled with numerous stories and a couple of new friends. Drinking games ending in an early night in bed, beachside concerts of ...

... recognizable, but ones whose names and composers I didn't. I zoned out for the first half of the concert, because I had seen churros being sold, but didn't have the time to buy some before the concert started, and thus thought about churros the whole time. During the intermission, I managed to get some churros, but then was distracted during the second half of the performance, marveling at how many churros I just ate, especially since they ...

... Esmeralda, Rodriguez, and Martinez ... uh ... ok ... how is it possible for there to be an intersection of four streets? I figured that it must be at some plaza, so I pull out a map to find that none of these streets actually intersected ... ok ... there was no mention of a restaurant name, or an address ... ok ... At least this gave me an excuse to chat with Liszett - she told me that she had seen Ben's map, and she kind of remembered the name of the ...

... town known for colorful houses and the 'ascensors' (funiculars....http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Funicular).  It is beautiful and, like Santiago, calm, clean and secure.   Going up the first funicular Nice views The oldest....

... steps down again... and when you look up there is wonderful views over the port below. Add to this over various spots across the hills all the lovely funiculars that are all so different, big small, steep, short long, with most built in th early 1800Âīs Each ride cost about 25 cents to take you up or down different parts of the hills... a really pretty and unique place. As per Alberto's instructions we ended down near the prot ...

... passed she discounted the price, but it was still expensive. If the pool was working, we would have stayed, but it wasn't, so we passed. We decided to stay at the Hotel Pacifico down the road. It looked nice from the road so we stopped in. I showed my expired travel agent card and received a discount. The rooms are nothing to be excited about. The bed was uncomfortable and I didn't sleep so great. We also had the most amazing meal at a restaurant ...
